We work with local companies whenever we can. For manufacturing and assembly, we work with Quiktek Assembly in Tempe, Arizona. For component sourcing, we work with Avnet, a leading electronics distributor headquartered in Phoenix. Many of our primary partners are within a quick 15-minute drive from our office, and we also are working to source all of our plastics and miscellaneous parts from local distributors.

Beyond keeping Americans employed, we can guarantee a few things almost every big brand (including the ones named after fruit) cannot:

we pay fair wages

we never employ underage workers

our facilities are powered by cleaner sources of energy

we recycle whenever possible

we meet all EPA regulations

We produce and assemble our products in the United States, and we’re always looking for opportunities to bring jobs back here to the USA. It’s the only way we can ensure we deliver an honest, high-quality product that isn’t subsidized by environmental catastrophe and unfair practices.

Step 2. Development

Our product development cycle touches several different programming languages

Go, powers the backend of our website and firmware deployment serve

C, powers our embedded software and firmware stack

Python, powers our dev ops and scripting needs

Swift, powers our iOS app

Java, powers our Android app

HTML/CSS, powers our website and keeps it beautiful (with some Pure.css to keep things in line)

JavaScript, powers the interactive elements of our website

We take pride in putting together our technology stack from the ground-up – firmware, web server, and application code.

Step 3. Production

We work with Phoenix Analysis and Design Technologies to create small batches of mechanical parts on industrial 3D printers. We use an injection molding process from Proto Labs to test our mechanical design more thoroughly. Our final product assembly and production are handled by Quiktek Assembly, Inc.
